Issu d'un cultivar généralement associé aux Aiguilles d'Argent, ce thé rouge riche et malté dévoile des notes de confiture de framboise et d'épices réchauffantes.
I was a little skeptical about a black tea made from Silver Needle leaves, but it is seriously good. The brew is thick and malty with that raspberry jam sweetness lingering at the back, and it holds up beautifully even when it cools down.
Those raspberry jam notes are genuinely there, not just in the description—it smells like a warm berry compote in the cup. The malty body keeps it from feeling too fruity, and it holds up beautifully to a second steep. This is my new go-to for slow afternoons.
The malty richness hits you right away, but that raspberry jam note underneath is what sold me—it lingers in a really pleasant way. I’ve been brewing it as my afternoon pick-me-up and the warming spice makes it feel cozy even in summer. Easily the best black tea I’ve tried this season.
